.
AFAIK no
Compiling a macro does not require that functions called in it exist at 
the compiling time:
function test()
    my_random_function_name()
endfunction
can be compiled even before my_random_function_name() is defined.

The toolbox build stops here.
How do you get aware of this? Is there an error, with a message, or 
another output information?

Despite 128 ==2^7, i don't think that t is a "magic number" with respect 
to macros compilation.

With Scilab 6, only macros whose code has been modified since the 
previous compilation are recompiled,
and then the related .bin files are updated. For other ones, the 
existing .bin files are kept, so their former creation date is unchanged.
